Logan Paul and Nina Agdal Welcome Baby Girl and Share Her French Name

It's the first child for the model and YouTuber.

Model Nina Agdal and famous YouTuber Logan Paul welcomed their first child together and revealed the baby's French name.

“Esmé Agdal Paul has entered the chat,” they wrote in a carousel post on Instagram, along with a peace sign emoji. The post features a shot of the couple holding their newborn in the hospital, as well as a sweet video and photo of her.

The baby's name has been growing in popularity in recent years, including in pop culture. Think Esme Cullen, the vampire mother in the Twilight Saga, and Esme Shelby in Peaky Blinders. But this name has long been used in literature, such as in J. D. Salinger's 1950 short story "For Esmé - With Love and Squalor," and Robert Hichens' 1894 novel The Green Carnation, which features Esmé Amarinth.
